Parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone that plays a key role to balance the body's calcium and phosphate levels. Hypoparathyroidism results in reduced parathyroid hormone secretion and dysfunction. Treatment of hypoparathyroidism includes supplementing calcium and phosphorus to keep them at normal levels. Hypoparathyroidism is a chronic disease and treatment is generally lifelong.
